The Cincinnati Bengals didn’t get off to a good start in the season, and not just because of the scoreboard.
They lost 24-3 to the Cleveland Browns in a game where Joe Burrow did not have a good performance.
That’s why sports analyst Craig Carton believes Zac Taylor’s team is in a lot of trouble, as it’s evident that Burrow isn’t healthy right now.

The most worrisome part about this is the fact that the Bengals have the Baltimore Ravens and their tough defense on deck for next week, and falling 0-2 to start the season in such a complicated division could be a disaster.
The Brown didn’t need to do a lot on offense to wear the Bengals out.
The star pass-rushing duo of Za’Darius Smith and Myles Garrett disrupted everything coming from Zac Taylor’s team, and things could’ve gotten a lot uglier if the Browns had made the most of the chances they got to pull away early in the game.
Burrow missed the entirety of the preseason with a calf injury, and soft-tissue injuries tend to linger, so that could be an issue to keep an eye on throughout the course of the entire season.
His mobility wasn’t there, and the Bengals’ revamped offensive line simply couldn’t hold on for as long as he needed to find his receivers in stride.
The Bengals have everything they need to thrive and be a force in the AFC, but they need their best player back to full strength.
